5.3 Revised year 2020 peak hour traffic projections with the proposed development

It can be clearly seen from those projections that the critical period in terms of operation of the David Low
Way intersection will be in the PM peak, not the AM peak, because through traffic flows along David Low
Way are similar in both peaks, but traffic flows generated by the development are significantly greater in
the PM peak. The circumstances are also the same for any traffic impact analysis of the current
approval. Thus, we have only considered the critical PM peak hour analysis in the balance of this traffic
impact assessment.

Using the traffic projections of Colin Beard from the JER (Appendix B) as a basis, predicted year 2020
PM peak hour traffic flows at the David Low Way intersection for the current approval, and for the current
proposal (with the accommodation the same intensity in both) are as follows:

2020 PM peak with current approval:
                                             David Low Way
                                                27 773

2020 PM peak with current application:
